It is not permissible to deposit money or transfer salary to usurious banks except out of necessity, such as to protect money from loss or due to employer compulsion. In such a case, the money is deposited and the salary is transferred to a current account. Regarding the Visa card, it is permissible to use a card free from usury that charges a fixed amount as a service fee, whereas it is not permissible to use cards that involve usury.
